GeForce Game Ready Driver 596.21 for Pragmata and Windrose is here

NVIDIA has released GeForce Game Ready Driver 596.21, with the big new addition being day one support for a few games, including Capcom's Pragmata, a new sci-fi action-adventure out today. Built with the studio's RE Engine, like the recent launch of Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata arrives with support for the full DLSS suite of technologies, including Super Resolution, Multi Frame Generation, and Ray Reconstruction.

And like Resident Evil, Pragmata on PC supports a stunning real-time path-tracing mode for realistic cinematic lighting that elevates in-game visuals and immersion to a new level. And based on early reviews from games critics, it sounds like Capcom is also two for two with its big 2026 releases. Alongside driver support, NVIDIA has announced the new Pragmata GeForce RTX 50 Series Bundle, which offers GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs and laptop owners a copy of the game on Steam.

GeForce Game Ready Driver 596.21 also adds game support for the Early Access debut of the indie survival, co-op, and PvE game set in the 'Age of Piracy' called Windrose.

After drawing in a huge audience during the latest Steam Next Fest, the Early Access launch of Windrose is proving to be a massive success for the development team at Kraken Express. And even though it's an Early Access release, it's arriving with full DLSS support, including the new DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, which is available via the NVIDIA App.

GeForce Game Ready Driver 596.21 adds game support to one more game, Hotta Studio's NTE (Neverness to Everness), an anime-inspired online RPG that's set to launch on April 23 in China and April 29 in the U.S. Here are the full GeForce Game Ready Driver 596.21 Release Notes.
